James Marcus "Lindy" Hood (July 30, 1907 – October 17, 1972) was a college basketball All-American center for the University of Alabama. At Alabama, Hood is noted for being their first All-American men's basketball player in 1931 and as the leader of the undefeated 1929–30 Crimson Tide squad.[1] [2] Hood's nickname "Lindy" came during his playing days with Alabama during a trip to New Orleans to play Tulane. As he entered a hotel lobby, a crowd mistook Hood for Charles Lindbergh and thus the nickname "Lindy" was given to him.[3] Hood was posthumously inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1990.[2]
